Smiled when I saw Power Bond

Power Bond, eh? How I would love to see Cyber Dragons back for another showcase.

Haven’t they already make Cyber Dragon a card in rush duels ? While it is low there is actually a chance that it can be used in the show

There's a new wave of Cyber Dragons in Rush, actually. Like, a whole archetype of new cards. And they're really good.

Power Bond is for any Machine Type deck not just the Cyber Dragons.

Power Bond!!! POWAHH BOND!!!!!
As a Cyber Dragon enthusiast this made me oh so happy to see.

Haha

Weird to have the Nanahoshi/Sougetsu connection suddenly confirmed after not mentioning anything for the past 40 episodes or so.

Pretty obvious they're going to use the carded characters for a new Maximum.

I would hate that honestly. Just what makes Maximum so restricted that they have to use real people or ID cards to make it ? They are still god damn cards If Fusion cars and fusion monsters can be made then so should Maximums. Putting that bullshit restriction only makes Maximums rarer and gets rid of existing maximums because of the used material being returned to normal. If they create the Maximum like that it will just be gone after Phaser is defeated. And If that is the way Phaser made his Maximums too then all Maximums even Manabu’s might be gone too. They should just make Maximums normally for gods sake

And I am surprised about the connection confirmed too. It really feels weird to me that they never mentioned it before and Manabu’s clan backstory differs from Gakuto’s and yet we now suddenly have this matching thing revealed. It is as If it was not meant to be the same but then retconned.

I was honestly thinking that Sevens and Go rush are in different dimensions/universes because of the many inconsistency and It would not shock me If that was the plan for at least at the first arc but later got retconned. But in the end it is basically confirmed now that Go rush is the past of Sevens

Well you know I always believed it to be the same universe and just chalked the inconsistencies up to bad and/or incomplete writing, though I admit I started to believe in your theory more and more as time went on, it's as if they couldn't decide to really commit or not and now we're left with this mess.

In regards to Maximum, I agree, they should make them more common just like fusion and focus more on the disadvantages of that card type, mainly the consistency. If I remember correctly Nail was the only one who build his deck with his Maximum in mind everyone else has simply hard drawn theirs.
Manabu drawing his Maximum was fine because that wasn't even his intention and I think it would be nice to have someone get a Maximum just to fail miserably because he bricks with the [L] and [R] parts, is forced to summon them to survive another round just to draw the main card too late to matter. Then they can have the main villains use a properly build deck that either searches, draws a lot or has impressive defense to show how using a Maximum takes skill.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a Rush Duel version of Mirror Mail? Because if there was then I'd want Yuhi to have that. By the way, do cards like Half Shut and Shield Warrior work well with Mirror Mail?

I wish Rush Duel could also have Synchro and Xyz Monsters as well instead of only Fusion Monsters.

The XYZ could easily be done. Synchro may be last due to needing a Tuner monster.

And It is confirmed that Yuuhi is Yuga's ancestor because the losing genetics are just too strong (or too weak I should say). 5 lose already halfway to the show and none of the development and the showcase of ''he gets better'' goes anywhere. And now he got turned into a card. For WHY though ? This is my problem with Rush yugioh. They are comedy and PLOT TWIST first and actual story and making sense second. After all the focus and potential for development he got in this arc (so much more than Yuna who also got wasted) why would they want to turn him into a card ? For shock factor that is all and nothing else. He can be turned back before the arc finishes If they want and it won't mean as much because at this point even If he beats Phaser it will feel unrealistic after all of this.

From the beginning of the show Yuuhi is the character that they gave the most amount of ''character arc'' or focus for potential development but it all falls short because they are not giving him a suitable opponent to overcome to solidify that development and instead he loses an important duel and turns back to normal. And then they just give him yet another arc/focus and this cycle continues without ANY meaning while also resulting Yuamu to be severely overshadowed by Yuuhi in terms of character focus and development and she remains stale to this day but as I said Yuuhi's development falls short despite all the time and focus invested into it so it becomes a waste of time, Yuuhi doesn't get that better and Yuamu remains not developed for no reason as the results are not worth wasting her.

I knew that Tremolo couldn't lose here that is why this match up was bad from the start. And If they really wanted to make this duel then a draw or no result would have be a pretty fitting result for both parties to retain their dignity while allowing Yuuhi a chance for rematch later. OR at the very least do not card Yuuhi so he can get a training arc or something and go for revenge later. What will even happen now ? Even If they somehow save Yuuhi from the card before the arc ends and he goes and beats Phaser that will only feel forced at this point. Because you can't just make someone a damsel to be saved and then have them save the day the same arc. That would only make Phaser look a lot weaker rather than being as big of an accomplishment for Yuuhi as it could have be. But it is even worse If he remains in the card for the rest of the arc. This situation is completely wasteful and wrong. Yuuhi just got sacrificed and wasted like Yuna.

I WILL give credit to this arc's willingness to go darker than the usual silly elementary school comedy of Rush yugioh, make plots regarding romance/feelings and use it maturely enough and giving Maximums the respect they deserve but didn't get in Sevens. These are VERY GOOD signs that they are not incapable of actually doing a bit more serious and better stuff and shows that they could have used the potential of this show and plot so much more BUT they just wasted anything that had a potential like Velgear war, Yuna and now Yuuhi. They are finally stepping up their story telling for once but instead of using the potential of the story and characters they are just wasting everything for the sake of plot twists as usual so nothing changes and potential is getting lost

I watched Zexal the other day for comparison and it just Go rush doesn't hit the same for me. I actually think sevens is way better than go rush.

Rush yugioh just doesn’t hit the same as the OGs.

But Personally disagree with the second. I think Go rush at this to this point have been better than Sevens. It had a much better villain in Zwijo than anything Sevens ever had and had a more consistent plot with the Velgear war (though they wasted it at the start of this season) on the other hand Sevens was just consisting of yet another random character appearing to destroy Rush duels and get befriended when the season ended with little to no overarching story. Go rush can still somehow go worst and make a worse ending but currently I think Go rush is better and has/had better potential with a better plot

SEVENS handled the focus between the 4 main characters(Yuga, Luke, Romin and Gakuto)better than how Go Rush handles the focus between the 3 main characters(Yudias, Yuhi and Yuamu).

I do agree that mostly

"but- but- yuudias win more duels than yuga" or something like that.

Thats a different point, and the reasons are because Yudias has a different goal than Yuga and Go Rush has higher stakes than SEVENS like getting frozen or getting carded.

I was being ironic and quoting the "go rush his better than sevens" dude.

Because now Yudias rarely duels.

Yudias is the main protagonist so he's the one who will against Phaser jus like he won against Zwijo twice, Rovian and The☆Lugh together with Yuga.
but i dont know why Yuhi got carded because now someone else will win against Tremolo.

Imagine if Yuhi were to have a Rush Duel version of Damage Vaccine Omega Max and used it to regain the life points he lost after taking damage from Power Bond's negative effect.

Freakin POWER BOND returned and they even gave a small ''you couldn't even use the card properly'' talk like Zane did LOL. Too bad that its debut duel is a lose though. ANYWAY Ranran's flashback is weird because it is almost like a retcon. Manabu's flashback for Sougetsu and its style was drastically different than what Gakuto has told and yet Ranran's flashback further confirms Sevens and Go rush is the same universe.

And even outside of that, from the existence of aliens to this extent on Earth, the fact that variants of Luke and Nail are literally ALIENS which implies they come from Aliens as well and the existence of a ''Mutsuba'' town which we all have never heard anything about in Sevens, I really would have preferred this to be a different dimension than Sevens. I think that would have made more sense, not to mention Yuga creating rush duels early should have fcked up the Sevens timeline but I guess we can use that one time theory to assume he created a new timeline that will be the future of this current time while he will return to the Sevens timeline where the past is still without him. That is the only possible explanation otherwise the present Sevens should get altered heavily.

I was still keeping my thoughts that Yuga might be mistaken about this world being the past of Sevens but with Ranran's flashback there is no reason left to assume that Sevens and Go rush is not in the same world. Go rush is the past of Sevens and the characters here are more than likely the ancestors of Sevens characters.

Manabu's flashback was only shown so we could understand why he chose a different path.

What Sogetsu style is highly differs that is the thing

I think the problem is more with SEVENS' flashbacks.
Gakuto's first flashback about his ancestor reminded him to play as pride Sogetsu Style user when he dueld Neil using his Gakuting style.
Gakuto's second flashback about his ancestor showed that his ancestor danced a weird dance in order to avoid a battle when Rinnosuke dueled him to remind him of Rush Duels and how fun they are.
so the first flashback showed that Gakuting is wrong and the second flahback showed that Gakuting is right.

Cyber Dragons are under Cyrus's control not Zane anymore.

And this was why I wished Zane didn't get revived.

I meant Zane’s speech about Syrus not using the card properly. After Yuhi took damage from the effect Tremelo said he wasn’t even able to use a card like Power bon properly which reminded me of Zane. Especially because Tremelo kinda worded that as If He knows Power bond and could use it better

I was already pretty hyped seeing Ranran be Yuuhi's eyes and hands but I legit gasped out loud when Yuuhi drew Power Bond. But now this means that the only real difference between Fusion and Polymerization is that the prior can only be used with monsters on the field while the latter can be used either in the hand or the field.

Yuhi and Ranran having a Power Bond

lol wow Power Bond. Did not expect a different fusion spell here, especially with Yuga out already. What's next? Yuamu Dragon's Mirror?

I would like to see Five-Headed Dragon.

You realize we got 2 different fusion card already with one of them being Yuamu's right ?

we lose yuuhi so early :c

Yuuhi.... Man...
Well at least I still have hope that Dinois will get an appearance and if I'm lucky some character development. She's a interesting character so that would be nice.

Power Bond??!!!! wow Kaiser's trump card after all these years

though but let down thought Tremolo's deck was plant type
though Yuuhi lost too wow wasnt expecting that

Realy fun Duel. And how Ranran helped Yuhi in the duel.

Holy shit we NEEDDDDDD Rush Duels in Master Duel already as a playable mode. Guarantee it becomes more popular than normal ranked and probably the OCG and TCG as well.

i dont know why Yuhi got carded because now someone else will win against Tremolo.
also, it was nice to see Manabu's and Gakuto's ancestor again.

the plot is somehow easy to figure it out easily

so people turn into card became Maximum card just like Seven so Yuuhi dont want that card[ problaby yuga card and want him self to be card so that him self and yugaa of maybe later yuamu will be cardd and all 3 card will go to Yudias and introduce New maximum summon from ohdou family.

He's still nothing but a jobber
